As water fills the Water-Gate, the water’s weight secures the bottom of the barrier to the ground and its pressure pushes forward and upward against the barrier’s pocket, pushing it open and automatically activating the dam.Unroll the Water-Gate barrier along the ground in your desired location and secure the front bib.How Water-Gate Works: Water holding back water Water-Gate has been used extensively in the corporate and municipal sectors worldwide, by organizations such as Nestle, Exxon Mobil, National Grid, the Government of Mexico, and Battery Park City in New York, NY. Many firefighters around the world consider Water-Gate an indispensible weapon in their firefighting arsenals, allowing them to create instant water reservoirs from streams, far away from other sources of water. Forest Service all use and support the Water-Gate line of products due to their reliability and usefulness. Department of Agriculture (USDA), and the U.S. This recommendation can be found in the "Environmental Guide in-water work in sanitation and infrastructure projects" on the Ministry’s website. Water-Gate has won numerous awards internationally, including a Gold Medal from the IDSA (Industrial Society of America), the Grand Prize from the Institute of Design Montreal, and the Civil Protection Prize award from the fire and rescue services of the city of Geneva.Īfter testing Water-Gate, the Ministry of the Environment of Quebec officially recommended it for use in aquatic infrastructure projects. Water-Gate is easy to set up and take down, especially when compared to the weight, lengthy deployment time, and cleanup hassle associated with traditional sandbags. As water collects inside the barrier, the water’s weight holds the bottom membrane in place and its pressure pushes the top membrane open, automatically preventing water from flowing past the barrier.Īfter the flood event is over, you can clean, dry, and roll up your Water-Gate so that it is ready to be deployed again. Water-Gate is flexible, allowing you to bend the dam into the shape you need, for instance to protect a building, follow the contour of a riverbank, or stretch across a streambed.ĭeployment is simple: A single Water-Gate can be unrolled by one person in just minutes. Ideal for commercial, municipal, and large residential applications, Water-Gate barriers can be extended by connecting multiple units together, with virtually no limit. A single Water-Gate barrier can replace up to 770 sandbags. Perfect for controlling floodwater, temporarily damming a stream, containing municipal pipe leaks, or stopping oil and chemical spills, Water-Gate is light enough to carry, yet extremely durable and designed to be reused often.
